Description

Tower Rock is a free standing pinnacle with a lot of old school routes of various grades. The earliest climbing in the RRG was probably done here.

Tower Rock is not closed, but the USFS asks that you limit your climbing here. One local jokes that that means you're only allowed to climb at your limit there.

Getting There

Drive on route 715 from its split from hwy 77. Pass the Gladie Creek Visitor Center and then keep your eyes open for the trailhead sign on the left side of the road. It is about half a mile past Pumpkin Bottom Campground.

The main rappel (or what I perceive to be the main rappel) off the summit of the tower consists of two beefy glue ins for the first rappel and then a steel cable wrapped around a tree for the second. (70m required) Definitely not rotting slings and is very trustworthy.
